At last! A science book here: The Secret Dinobird Story

[Streadmob]

Hi folks –

[information no longer applicable - MODERATOR]

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...46#post2132646

but here is the spiel for the book itself...

If it sounds a bit like I’m fixing the mess from the ground up, and not complimenting the perpetrators... well, it was overdue.

Ever wondered why penguin's lungs don't get crushed 300ms down? (Or Exactly how birds' lungs work, in less than a day's research?!)

Or exactly what Microraptor did with its rear wings?

Or why the first dinosaurs were bipedal?...

“You wait years for a revolution in a science, then three come along at once!

Three revolutions or more? Keep a tally as you read through the book.
* Dinobird family tree turned the right way up…
* Failures in old palaeontological technique corrected across the board…
* Pathetic past practitioners highlighted – genuine heroes lauded…
* Fascinating complexities explained with maximum simplicity (author an OU lecturer)…
* Long-standing field-blocking conundrums cracked…
* Decades of pseudo-academic crut washed away as crucial human and dog insights brought to light.

“THE SECRET DINOBIRD STORY” IS SEVERAL BOOKS IN ONE!
100,000 words; over 70 illustrations. More than one book for less than one hamburger – just $2.99! (UK: just over £2 or $ equivalent; Eurozone: about €3.)

Read a free sample here, or from the book’s page on the Amazon store
Most of it you’ll read for fun and entertainment.

It does include some clarification of practical philosophy of science, and this is explained. You’ll understand it fine but it may take years to savour fully. But just the sciencepolice-14 rules are worth a year’s science education – particularly to researchers.

The appendices contain a bit of information processing, for those who want to check out the technicalities.

Palaeontology hasn’t always made a lot of sense until now; this book was designed to fix that and move the field on. You owe it to yourself and your students to find out the new ideas early – don’t get left behind!

There is a discussion webpage*for this book via the book's webpage:

Happy arguing!
